The Art of Creation
Crafted by Master Blender Yann Fillioux
The James Hennessy blend was crafted by the legendary Yann Fillioux, Hennessy’s Master Blender, who represents the seventh generation of the Fillioux family to oversee the brand’s cellar. Drawing from his decades of expertise, he curated a selection of fine eaux-de-vie that perfectly balance freshness and maturity, resulting in a cognac that is refined yet full of character.
